**The Youth of St. Andrew achieved their challenge goal of inviting 25 friends. The gift for inviting their friends was to have a jump session at Skyzone in Hagerstown and then a pizza buffet party. We are blessed that our youth invited their friends so that the friends could find the greatest friend, Jesus Christ.
**The Youth will participate in the church’s mission week. The week of July 20-24 will have yard work and bingo playing, painting and craft projects, a visit to an elderly center as well as a visit to the homeless shelter. The week will be completed by having a street fair at Halfway Manor.
**The Youth will have a trip to DC. We will go to the Bible Museum on July 25 and then tour some of the Smithsonian museums. The day will be finished with a meal at Golden Corral. Please sign up through the website.
**On Sunday, August 2, the Youth will be invited to Pastor Mark’s house to have a time of fun, food, and fellowship. The time will be from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. During that time, we will make mountain pies (if you don’t know what they are, come and experience a great treat) and play a variety of games. Each youth is asked to bring a two-liter soda and a side dish to share.
**The Youth Group will begin on September 13. Watch for details.
